In enzymology, a linalool 8-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.14.84, Formerly EC 1.14.13.151) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol + AH2 + O2 (E)-3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3,8-diol + A + H2O
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol, an electron acceptor AH2, and O2, whereas its 3 products are (E)-3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-diene-3,8-diol, the reduction product A, and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derive from O miscellaneous. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (8-hydroxylating). It employs one cofactor, heme.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
